A woman who knows her place
Barbara Walters of Television's 20/20 did a story on gender roles in Kabul, Afghanistan, several years before the Afghan conflict. She noted that women customarily walked 5 paces behind their husbands.
She recently returned to Kabul and observed that women still walk behind their husbands. From Ms. Walter's vantage point, despite the overthrow of the oppressive Taliban regime, the women now seem to walk even further back behind their husbands and are happy to maintain the old custom.
Ms. Walters approached one of the Afghani women and asked, "Why do you now seem happy with the old custom that you once tried so desperately to change?"
The woman looked Ms. Walters straight in the eyes, and without hesitation, said, "Land Mines."

Aye, women certainly know stuff. Like the inaccuracy of every bathroom scale ever made. _________________

They also know if a bed's been made WITHOUT opening the bedroom door. They also know when you've decided to go down to the pub before you do. The list is endless..
Is witchcraft really dead or do THEY have some strange form of telepathy??
